Futur

First, there’s been this blog post by Dimitri Sabadie aka Phaazon. A very interesting reading. Notably given the fact he’s a plugin author but also the mind behind This Week in Neovim. The guy knows what he talks about. And his take is that nvim is getting too big, almost bloated already.

Then this Reddit post about both Phaazon’s write-up and a previous poll about moving features into nvim’s core. The author, u/premell states that having too many plugins leads to unstable setups. One plugin could bring breaking changes to its API. And other plugins relying on it could stop working as expected. As far as I understand, he thinks that some wildly used plugins should make their way to nvim’s core to guarantee stability and prosperity to others.

I’m not sure it’s the right way of doing things.
